Geek Aire 12" Portable Battery Operated Fan with Metal Blade, 360 Vertical Tilt, 24h Run Time Cordless Fan for Camping Travel Tent Hurricane Home

I initially bought 2 of the 12-inch fans to use while traveling or in case of a power outage during our hot Texas summers. They're incredible! They're expensive but I think here, you get what you pay for. They're very quiet, very durable, and appear to be of high-quality material. They came very well packaged. There is a dial knob to control the level of airflow rather than just 3 settings you adjust. I also love that the panel on the back shows approximately how charged the fan is (in increments of 20), so you can tell when the juice is getting low. I've tested out the settings to see how long the fan will run on a single charge. The box says 'up to 20 hours,' and while this may be true...it would have to be barely turned on to last that long in my experience. It does hold a charge very well though considering how great the output is on medium to high settings. On full blast, the fan runs for about 5.5 hours. By the way, it puts out a surprising amount of air on high setting. On a medium setting, which still has really great airflow, the fan runs for approximately 8 hours or so. I haven't tested on low setting because that doesn't put out much air, though obviously better than nothing if you need some air movement. My old dog has been sitting in front of this fan since I got it. It's come in handy several places where I needed a little air movement but wasn't near a wall plug. They'd be great to take anyway outdoors. They were such a hit in my house, I bought my brother's family one for Father's Day. I figured they might want it for those scorching kid's baseball games. He texted me saying it came in handy during the last games. In fact, my sister-in-law's family was at the last game and after seeing their fan, they also bought one.

Purchased for hurricane prep. PROS: protective packaging, very good construction, charged to 100% w/o a problem, moves a satisfactory volume of air at 75% power, relatively quiet. CONS: it is yellow. VERDICT: purchased for emergency use but might use on balcony during hot/still conditions. Good addition as needed. Hope this was helpful/useful. ☮️

Before I actually rate this fan honestly, let's address some of the reviews- like the absolute brainiac Einstein of an electrical engineer who did a tear down and said the fan isn't 12,000mAh but really 2,000mAh, showing the battery pack with the label "2,000mAh". I wish I could respond to his review but Amazon doesn't allow that---- the 'battery' inside the fan isn't 2,000mAh, it's 6x 2,000mAh 18650 batteries run in series wrapped together. You know what 2,000 x 6 is? 12,000mAh. So don't listen to that review. Who cares if the battery is "floating" inside or whatever. The fan wasn't built by NASA or NOAA, it's a Chinese made fan with a battery attached. Now, this is where a buyer should pay attention. At the lowest setting, which barely creates enough of a breeze to dizzy a mosquito, it will last you quite some time. At the top power level it does kick up a nice gust. The thing is, I didn't buy this fan to plug it in and catch a nice breeze. My wife and I bought TWO of these fans because we live in Central Florida. We have air conditioning for the heat, but when we get slammed by hurricanes we have no power. This fan did a decent job when we got hit in 2020 and lost power, but at the highest setting it didn't last the night. And that's ok. It's rated at 12,000mAh and we had it turned all the way up. Now we have a son and he takes priority, so we bought a second one for us. Truthfully I wish it lasted longer. But I can't take off a star because I wish it was a 20kmAh or higher. I bought it knowing it's 12k. However, we have since purchased a massive battery bank - and I don't mean ones that charge your phone - I mean one that can charge your laptop, another laptop, and 3 phones as once. I'm no electrical engineer so idk what the wattage/voltage draw on this is but it did dent our battery pack by about 15% after a full 9 hours at 100%. If you're buying this for some outdoor event for a few hours, have at it. If you're buying it to run it on low in a portable setting, have at it. But if you're like me and my wife, buying multiple different sized fans from different manufacturers, specifically for a power outage then just understand it's actual capacity and capabilities. Again, I wish it lasted longer but you can't buy 6 eggs when the recipe calls for 12 and be mad at the grocery store. This fan is what it is, but don't expect some miraculous 15hr drain on high. I think we got 6.5hrs on high, tops, which is great when we're in muggy Florida with no power and the house surges to 87 degrees at night during a hurricane. But once it's dead, it's dead - which is why we got the massive power bank. 5 stars. It's a 12 inch fan, it moves air well, it has a battery backup, and we got what we paid for. Period.

These fans deserve 5.0. I cannot imagine who rated them lower. I have had them for a year. They are literally weight and easy to carry, the battery last all night and they can run with electricity. They are amazing. If you have a storm and are without electricity they easily recharge on a small charger. Just amazing technology and price.

The fans I bought have no way to reset as advised in an online search. The only option I was given was to have a Sears repair technician come to my house, pay the fee for the repair call, plus any repair. I had used the fan very few hours. It had some charge on it after being in storage. I used it and then recharged it before the battery was anywhere near drained. The fan did not work after that. I read online instructions on how to reset the battery, but since there is no way for me to access it in order to “reset”, I have a useless fan. I ordered three. Waste of money for me. IDon’t buy it if you don’t want to be stuck with a useless fan once the warranty ends. There is no way to fix it yourself, or take it to an authorized repair shop, or ship it to the manufacturer for repair. Customer service rep was “snarky”too, IMO, when emailed for advice.

I have tried several battery operated fans for use outdoors. None of them satisfactory satisfied my needs. The fact is, there is no battery operated fan that can push the amount of air that a powerful plug in fan can. However, I did not want to have 100 ft extension cords on my lawn between my garage and the two outdoor kennels for my German Shepherd Dogs. This is because every week when the lawn would be cut, I would have to unplug and put away the power cord so it would not get cut, a tedious and unpleasant chore. Therefore I was looking for and needed was a battery operated outdoor fan that could push enough air to cool the dogs and which had good battery life. After a lot of research and based on reviews, I bought two of these, the 12 inch blade model. Of all the fans I have tried, and I have tried several, these are the best. They are well made and very quiet, although this was not an issue since I only plan to use these outdoors. They are easy to carry from my garage where I charge them to my backyard where the kennels are, a distance of 150 feet.. The two things I really was looking for was battery life and air flow. The kennels are 10 ft by 10 ft with a bed in the middle perhaps 4 feet from the bars. With the battery on high and no wind, the breeze the fans create reaches the dog bed. If there is wind, it does not and the dogs have to curl up right next to the fan. I do not place the fans inside the kennels for safety sake, although that might be okay because the fans have a good grill. How long does the battery run on high---five hours max. I have no idea how long it would run on half power because it simply does not push enough air on anything less than high. Probably the 16 inch blade model would push a lot more, but it was also $55 dollars more than the 12 inch. I reiterate, this is the best of the outdoor fans I have used to date. But battery life of 5 hours is not enough. I need a fan that can run for 6-8 hours. And air flow could be strong but satisfactory I guess. Now, if you plan to use the fan indoors, and I did test it just to see how it was, this fan is terrific. Quiet and it can push a breeze across at 12 ft by 12 ft room.

My husband bought this cordless fan to use at an art show he attended this past weekend. He is very glad that he did and calls it, "The best fan ever and the best purchase he has ever made for his art shows." (See a picture of the fan in his art booth while he was setting up for a show.) Even though we ordered it last minute, the fan arrived very quickly and in great condition. It was well packaged and easy to figure out how to use. He charged the fan as recommended for 4 hours before trying it out. After the first charge, he ran it on a medium-moderate speed for over 12 hours and it was still going strong. Since he was heading out the next morning to an out-of-town show, he stopped the fan and charged it up again as he wanted to make sure it would be fully charged for his show. For the two days of the show, he used it for 10-12+ hours per day on one charge. Because the weather was quite warm and humid, the fan worked well to keep him cool. Both days, it was still going strong at the end of that time. He likes the lights on the back that show the amount of charge left for the fan, and he really likes the multiple speed options. We thought the noise of the fan was fine and was not bothersome. Because the fan is small, it can easily be used in many spaces without being in the way. Many other artists asked where he had bought the fan and indicated that they wanted one too. He plans to use it again at future shows, when he is outside working on large pieces of artwork, etc. He highly recommends this fan and would definitely buy it again.

We use this fan everyday on our front porch as we watch the hummingbirds, cardinals and chickadee fly around. It quiet and keeps us cool. The best part is it’s battery operated. Just like your phone. We have two of these fans…they are also light weight

Plug isn’t UK spec so on top of an expensive fan already you’ll need to get an adapter

De muy buen calidad, la recarga de la batería dura bastante

El ventilador llego inutil. desde que lo saque de la caja no funciono. La bateria no se carga. Es un producto caro no vale la pena
